It was my first time ever to visit Kitui County in the South eastern part of Kenya. The name Kitui means ‘a place where iron goods are made’ in Kamba. The Kamba iron-smiths who settled in the county many years before the colonial period are the ones who named the area Kitui.
Kitui County is resource-rich, with commercially viable coal reserves, limestone,
iron ore, and sand. It is also home to 46% of the Tsavo East National Park, which
has great tourism potential. The county has a population of 1,136,187 people and
is projected to grow to 1,343,998 in 2027, according to the 2019 population census.
The county is about 30,496 square kilometers in size and is bordered by seven other counties:
Machakos, Makueni, Tana River, Taita Taveta, Embu, Tharaka-Nithi, and Meru. The county’s
topography is diverse, with hills, mountains, plains, and plateaus. The rivers and streams in the county are seasonal, and the vegetation is mainly composed of thorny bushes, grasses, and acacia trees.
